This document discusses several sci-fi technologies that are becoming realities, including smart TVs evolving into two-screen experiences that interact with tablets, over 140 million connected cars projected to be on roads by 2017, drones being used for more than just military purposes, 3D printing being used in many industries, 3D bioprinting enabling creation of human tissues, electronic skins, smart eyewear and wristwear, flexible displays, smart textiles, and connected medical devices leading the wearables market. The document ends by asking which of these will be the next major technological revolution.

1. SCI-FI TURNS INTO REALITY

2. Hi-Tech
in 2008

4. SMART TV
is not dead, it is just evolving into a two-screen experience
Future smart TVs - a more intuitive
experience that accurately reflects the way
they watch TV
TVs will interact with tablets to find movies,
to see what friends are watching and to use
favorite apps like Twitter, Facebook.
The apps will add to the enjoyment of
watching TV by providing player stats, actor
bios and behind-the-scene clips.

5. CONNECTED CARS & HOMES
140 Million connected cars are projected to be on the road
globally by 2017
17 percent of the US population is already sold on house
connectivity
U S E S
Alerts you about the weather conditions, fruit and vegetables
going bad in your fridge
Decreases energy consumption in homes, and carbon
emission in cars
Act as a surveillance system

6. DRONES
The University of Tokyo developed a way
to make integrated circuits from ultrathin
plastic films- only 1.2 micrometers thick and
as light as a feather.
Dominos Pizza delivered pizza with the
DomiCopter
Not just for military surveillance anymore

7. 3D PRINTING
3D printing is an additive process, layering
material on top of material.
USED FIELDS
Jewellery, footwear, industrial design,
architecture, engineering and construction,
automotive, aerospace, medical industries
A new way of 3D printing is unveiled by MIT
researchers; printing 3D-print objects larger
than your 3D printer.

8. 3D BIOPRINTER
3D Printing is not about printing little toys!
Bioprinting, a new branch of 3D printing;
enables the creation of human skin, bone
and body parts
3D bioprinters improve treatment for
patients by producing “The Skin of the
Future”.

9. ELECTRONIC SKINS
The University of Tokyo developed a way
to make integrated circuits from ultrathin
plastic films- only 1.2 micrometers thick and
as light as a feather.
U S E S
Matrix-addressed tactile sensor foils for
health care and monitoring, thin-film heaters,
temperature and infrared sensors, displays,
and organic solar cells

11. SMART EYEWEAR
P R O S
Important opportunities in gaming and video,
leveraging augmented reality.
Can create complementary ad experiences
on-screen
C O N S
They block out the surrounding world
Very expensive
Privacy Concerns

12. P R O S
Already excels at a variety of applications
-from glucose monitoring for diabetics, to
tracking the workouts of fitness buffs
Significant revenue opportunity for
manufacturers and app developers
C O N S
Battery issues
SMART WRISTWEAR

13. SMART WATCHES
P R O S
More comfortable than eyewear
Some of them have long battery life
Cool factor - new popular gadget
C O N S
We already use our smartphones to show
the time.
The screen is too small
Aesthetic concerns

14. FLEXIBLE DISPLAYS
Screens that can be bent and curved are
forecasted to become common within 3 years.
The flexible smart watches will offer a
different experience than the current
offerings.

15. SMART TEXTILES
U S E S
Allow continuous biomedical monitoring
outside hospitals
Monitor heart rate
Give directions
Identification
Detect movement
